True. 16 GB is a bit annoying. And it’s soldered on the motherboard. So no chance of upgrading it.
For the most part 16GB is tolerable. You just have learned to deal with it. It’s not like with 8GB where you have to be constantly doing manual management.
I run on average about 10 VMs which should be around ~12GB. Some are minimal, others are not.
edit: I’ve also adjusted the title to make it more specific. Change it if you feel it does not correctly reflect your situation.
